  • 3D Modeling and the Role of 3D Modeling in Our Life
    ISSN 2413-1032 COMPUTER SCIENCE 3D MODELING AND THE ROLE OF 3D MODELING IN OUR LIFE 1Beknazarova Saida Safibullaevna 2Maxammadjonov Maxammadjon Alisher o’g’li 2Ibodullayev Sardor Nasriddin o’g’li 1Uzbekistan, Tashkent, Tashkent University of Informational Technologies, Senior Teacher 2Uzbekistan, Tashkent, Tashkent University of Informational Technologies, student Abstract. In 3D computer graphics, 3D modeling is the process of developing a mathematical representation of any three-dimensional surface of an object (either inanimate or living) via specialized software. The product is called a 3D model. It can be displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering or used in a computer simulation of physical phenomena. The model can also be physically created using 3D printing devices. Models may be created automatically or manually. The manual modeling process of preparing geometric data for 3D computer graphics is similar to plastic arts such as sculpting. 3D modeling software is a class of 3D computer graphics software used to produce 3D models. Individual programs of this class are called modeling applications or modelers. Key words: 3D, modeling, programming, unity, 3D programs. Nowadays 3D modeling impacts in every sphere of: computer programming, architecture and so on. Firstly, we will present basic information about 3D modeling. 3D models represent a physical body using a collection of points in 3D space, connected by various geometric entities such as triangles, lines, curved surfaces, etc. Being a collection of data (points and other information), 3D models can be created by hand, algorithmically (procedural modeling), or scanned. 3D models are widely used anywhere in 3D graphics.

  • CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND 1.1.1 Computer Graphics
    CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND Computer graphics and animation is a very broad and wide aspect of computer science, and has effects on our everyday living. Dissemination of information with good graphical user interface becomes very important when very important information have to be passed across. This project would be split into the two aspects (graphics and animation) sometimes during the course of discussion. 1.1.1 Computer Graphics Computers have become a powerful tool for the rapid and economical production of pictures. There is virtually no area in which graphical displays cannot be used to some advantage, and so it is not surprising to find the use of computer graphics so widespread. Although early applications in engineering and science had to rely on expensive and cumbersome equipment, advances in computer technology have made interactive computer graphics a practical tool. Today, we find computer graphics used routinely in such diverse areas as science, Engineering, medicine, business, industry, government, art, entertainment, advertising, Education and training. Before we get into the details of how to do computer graphics, we first take a short tour through a gallery of graphics applications. A major use of computer graphics is in design processes, particularly for engineering and architectural systems, but almost all products are now computer designed. Generally referred to as CAD, computer-aided design methods are now routinely used in the design of buildings, automobiles, aircraft, watercraft, spacecraft, computers, textiles, and many, many other products. For some design applications; object are first displayed in a wireframe outline form that shows the overall sham and internal features of objects.

  • 2D COMPUTER GRAPHICS 2D Computer Graphics Is the Computer-Based Generation of Digital Images—Mostly from Two-Dimensional Model
    2D COMPUTER GRAPHICS 2D computer graphics is the computer-based generation of digital images—mostly from two-dimensional models (such as 2D geometric models, text, and digital images) and by techniques specific to them. The word may stand for the branch of computer science that comprises such techniques, or for the models themselves. 2D computer graphics are mainly used in applications that were originally developed upon traditional printing and drawing technologies, such as typography, cartography, technical drawing, advertising, etc. In those applications, the two-dimensional image is not just a representation of a real-world object, but an independent artifact with added semantic value; two- dimensional models are therefore preferred, because they give more direct control of the image than 3D computer graphics (whose approach is more akin to photography than to typography). In many domains, such as desktop publishing, engineering, and business, a description of a document based on 2D computer graphics techniques can be much smaller than the corresponding digital image—often by a factor of 1/1000 or more. This representation is also more flexible since it can be rendered at different resolutions to suit different output devices. For these reasons, documents and illustrations are often stored or transmitted as 2D graphic files. 2D computer graphics started in the 1950s, based on vector graphics devices. These were largely supplanted by raster-based devices in the following decades. The PostScript language and the X Window System protocol were landmark developments in the field. 2D graphics hardware Modern computer graphics card displays almost overwhelmingly use raster techniques, dividing the screen into a rectangular grid of pixels, due to the relatively low cost of raster-based video hardware as compared with vector graphic hardware.

  • Business2-Lesson37 Graphic Design.Pages
    Business 2 - Lesson 37 Graphic Design Page !1 Graphic Design Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_design (retrieved 1/2/2016) Graphic design is the process of visual communication, and problem-solving through the use of type, space, image and color. The field is considered a subset of visual communication and communication design, but sometimes the term "graphic design" is used interchangeably with these due to overlapping skills involved. Graphic designers use various methods to create and combine words, symbols, and images to create a visual representation of ideas and messages. A graphic designer may use a combination of typography, visual arts and page layout techniques to produce a final result. Graphic design often refers to both the process (designing) by which the communication is created and the products (designs) which are generated. Common uses of graphic design include identity (logos and branding), publications (magazines, newspapers and books), print advertisements, posters, billboards, website graphics and elements, signs and product packaging. For example, a product package might include a logo or other artwork, organized text and pure design elements such as images, shapes and color which unify the piece. Composition is one of the most important features of graphic design, especially when using pre-existing materials or diverse elements. Applications From road signs to technical schematics, from interoffice memorandums to reference manuals, graphic design enhances transfer of knowledge and visual messages. Readability and legibility is enhanced by improving the visual presentation and layout of text. Design can also aid in selling a product or idea through effective visual communication. It is applied to products and elements of company identity like logos, colors, packaging, and text.
